FAQs About Our Freshwater Shrimp for Sale

Are freshwater shrimp hard to keep?

Freshwater shrimp are considered easy to keep because they easily adapt to an environment. However, this quality makes them highly sensitive to the changes in water chemistry.

How many freshwater shrimp should I get?

Freshwater shrimp thrive when they live in groups. So if you’re thinking of buying live shrimp for sale online, a good rule of thumb is around 5-10 shrimp per gallon of water. But make sure to avoid overcrowding! If you're just starting out, a group of 10-20 shrimp in a small tank (5-10 gallons) is a great place to begin.

How long do freshwater aquarium shrimp live?

Freshwater shrimp are really beautiful and fascinating but they live relatively short lives. They live around 1-2 years under ideal conditions.

What do freshwater shrimp eat?

Freshwater aquarium shrimps love good quality shrimp pellets, algae wafers, and blanched veggies like spinach or zucchini. They’ll also snack on biofilm, algae, and leftover fish food in your tank.

How often should I feed my shrimp?

You should feed your shrimp once a day, but only in small amounts. Shrimp are natural scavengers and will graze on biofilm and algae in the tank throughout the day, so they don't need a lot of extra food. Make sure to remove any uneaten food after a few hours to keep the water clean and prevent overfeeding.
